BOSTON BROWN BREAD





Ingredients1 tablespoon unsalted butter for greasing


1 1/2 cups brown-bread flour*


1 teaspoon baking soda


1/2 teaspoon salt


1/3 cup dark molasses


1 cup milk


1/2 cup dried currants or raisins Preparation1. Preheat the oven to 325 degrees.


2. Generously grease a 1-quart pudding mold or 1-pound coffee can. Combine the flour, baking soda and salt in a mixing bowl. Stir in the molasses and milk. Fold in the currants.





3. Fill the mold or coffee can with batter. It should come up about two-thirds of the way. Cover the top with foil and tie securely with a string to make it airtight.





4. Place in a deep baking pan and fill the pan with boiling water, to come halfway up the side of the mold.





5. Place in the preheated oven and allow to steam for 2 hours, checking the water level after 1 hour. Add more boiling water if needed. Check by sticking a skewer into the bread; it will come out clean when done. Remove string and foil and allow to cool for 1 hour before unmolding.





*A specialty of New England, brown-bread flour is a mixture of whole wheat, rye and cornmeal or johnnycake meal. It can be purchased already mixed or made by simply combining equal parts of wheat and rye flour and cornmeal.
